Make a catch can with a plastic quart of oil, two holes in the side, one hole is for a hose from the valve cover and the other for a hose from the pcv valve. Put a filter on top and shove the quart to the right of the battery. Im running 5-10 psi. It does its job. BTW im almost 99% positive most drag strips dont want you dumping ---- from your pcv and valve cover on the track. They would probably not pass you for inspection.

Technically you need a catchcan at any boost... but my last setup i ran 8psi without a catchcan and i had no problems..

Any engine would benefit from releasing positive crankcase pressure. Turbo or NA.
